How To Balance The Placebo And The Birth Control Pills?
Hello, I just started my period on Sunday and have started taking my placebo pills. Normally, I would take 7 placebo pills to end my period by the next Sunday. Is it ok to end taking placebo pills and re-start on my next pack of birth control pills by Friday instead to end my period early by 2 days? (5 Placebos, period from Sunday-Thursday)?

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, stopping bleeding can have its implications as uterus lining needs appropriate time to shed off and heal back to normal, so it's better to complete it naturally until Bleeding stops spontaneously.
However, if any serious or much-needed stoppage is sought, but better be avoid as much as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
